caterpillarcowboy: likesandlaunch: Social Media: Evolving From Long Form To Push ButtonIn the evolution of social media over the last decade, the trend has been a move from long form content, which has high friction of participation (both on the production and consumption side) to ever lower requirements placed on a user to participate in a conversation. (via Elad Blog: How Pinterest Will Transform the Web in 2012: Social Content Curation As The Next Big Thing) If I were tumblr I’d be so insulted by this article. Pinterest is del.icio.us with pictures. Tumblr is community and expression in a way that is genuinely unique on the internet, at a scale that is completely unmatched. Articles like this are one more reason I have so much disdain for most Silicon Valley trend bloggers. Interesting take on this.
